"No More Morias" was the battle cry after the fires destroyed the most infamous refugee camp on European soil in 2020.
It was also the justification for €276 million of EU funds to create new CCAC (Closed Controlled Access Centers) on the Greek islands.
While ecologically motivated legal battles in the highest court of Greece continue to hold up the opening of the new CCAC on Lesvos, the model for these camps have been in operation on Samos, Leros and Kos with devastating consequences.
Even the European Commission, which funded their creation, is investigating sub-human conditions, human rights violations, and privacy concerns on how people are surveilled and information is secured.
In this episode of "Fractured" we host investigative journalists and researchers Lydia Emmanouilidou and Ludek Stavinoha, who much to the dismay of Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, have definitely "...been to Samos."
Their reporting on the systems of surveillance in use, and policies that continue to deprive asylum seekers of international human rights, prove these camps are far from "modern, humane and safe."
After the show, join us on Patreon for an extended discussion with Lydia and Ludek on their award-nominated works for the 2024 European Press Prize.
